Village of Takigawa Touching Love
Village of Takigawa Touching Love is a local gem that has a variety of baths with precise temperatures. This large facility has a big selection of baths to choose from ranging from cold to hot as well as a steam room and sauna. Mats are provided for the sauna, so that you can sit in comfort. As you enter there’s a large bathing area on the left hand side, and on the right hand side are four different baths. Outside there are two open-air baths that range from normal to hot temperatures based on your preference. After your time in the onsen you can take advantage of their additional facilities including a delicious restaurant, sleek relaxing lounge and massage chairs.
We can say with confidence that this was one of our favorite onsens in Hokkaido, and we’ll be going back. We were very impressed by the vast size of the facility and all the different options to choose from. We could have easily spent a day relaxing at Village of Takigawa Touching Love. There were several local families with their children, however they were kind and well behaved. To our surprise there was no Wi-Fi, however sometimes you need to take a break from technology and live in the present moment. If you’re spending time in Central Hokkaido then make sure to add the Village of Takigawa Touching Love to your travel plans.
